Belle Isle Northeast Light

The Belle Isle Northeast Light is a 27-meter tall, 12-sided flying buttress lighthouse located on Belle Isle in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The lighthouse was built in 1905 and was designed by William P. Anderson as one of nine buttressed lighthouses constructed in Canada around that time. It was maintained by the Canadian Government even after Newfoundland joined Confederation in 1949.

The lighthouse features a white tower with a red lantern and is equipped with a fog signal that can be sounded every 30 seconds if needed. The light characteristic is a white flash occurring every 11 seconds, with the light source placed at a focal plane of 42 meters above sea level. The lighthouse is currently managed by the Canadian Coast Guard and is one of three lighthouses on the island.

Interestingly, the Belle Isle Northeast Light was built at a time when Newfoundland was still a British colony, and its construction was part of a larger effort to improve maritime safety in the region. The lighthouse has a unique design and is an important part of Newfoundland's rich history and maritime heritage.
